DAKOTACARE to Implement RxEOB's AutoAuthRxTM Pharmacy Prior Authorization Solution
RICHMOND, Va. & SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - RxEOB
announced today that DAKOTACARE,
the leading physician-owned health plan in South Dakota, has selected
RxEOB's AutoAuthRxTM pharmacy prior
authorization automation technology for use across its membership.
Using AutoAuthRx, DAKOTACARE clinical pharmacists will collaborate
with providers - helping ensure each prescription is aligned with the
member's specific benefit design and the associated evidence-based
guidelines.
"We are pleased RxEOB can help us bring tools to our community
which allow providers to make the most informed pharmacy decisions for
our members, promote lower cost options when clinically appropriate, and
free clinician and staff time to focus on patient care," says Rich
Jones, R.N., vice president of medical management for DAKOTACARE. "AutoAuthRx
is fully aligned with our mission to make healthcare more efficient for
all, to ensure we can offer a rich set of benefit options, to drive
effective medical management programs, and to preserve the financial
stability of our health care system."
The AutoAuthRx solution is part of RxEOB's overall workflow
technology suite, which also includes RxEFormulary, a software
application for consolidating into one source of truth the myriads of
formularies that health plans and PBMs maintain, and RxMonitor , a
robust analytics and reporting engine that delivers detailed pharmacy
utilization and drug switching and compliance metrics to employers,
health plans, and PBMs.
Robert Oscar, RPh, CEO of RxEOB adds, "We are delighted to work
with innovators like DAKOTACARE who share our passion for improving care
quality, safety, affordability, and convenience. The growth
in medication cost and complexity, particularly for specialty products,
requires new solutions to ensure each member can easily access the
appropriate medication in a timely fashion while removing unnecessary
costs to the system."
DAKOTACARE and RxEOB expect to complete initial implementation of
AutoAuthRx this summer.
